the driest months are December-February while the rainiest ones are August-October or
November; the rest of the year is a mix. Daytime highs are almost always in the 80s or 90s
with high humidity, although temperatures can spike up into the 100s.

the daytime high might only be in the 50s. So if you’re traveling during these months, be sure
to bring some warm clothing and/or clothing you can layer.
